Chewy Caramel Oatmeal Cookies

There’s a wonderful bakery in Camarillo called “The Bread Basket.” We’ve been going there for years. I would stop by almost weekly to pick up dinner on my way to California Lutheran University when I was working on my doctorate because our classes ran from 5 – 10 on Thursday nights with only a half hour break. Most often, I would get a Nut Crunch Sandwich and two Caramel Oatmeal Cookies. It’s been many years since I’ve made the drive to CLU, but I still remember how wonderful those cookies were! This is my best attempt at recreating them. Although not a perfect match, they are really, really good & chewy!

Oatmeal-raisin cookies have always been my favorite cookie. Well, maybe peanut-butter also and I never pass by a molasses. So, I certainly can add this cookie of yours to my list-try. Did you or John unwrap each caramel? How long did that take? They look delicious, Susan. I saw your pincushion gift on Facebook. It’s lovely and beautiful and I hope your friend appreciated your thoughtfulness. Hand-made gifts are the best.
